Or maybe they aren't quite as law abiding as they would have us believe.<br />Just what is it that gives them the right to make up arbitrary laws right on the spot?<br />It is actions like that which cause riots. There is no doubt that this whole episode needs to be placed at the disposal of EVERY MP immediately. They ALL should reply to this outrage.<br />Surely there must be plenty of other photos of this display of police brutality?<br />Where can we go from here to bring justice to bear on this ignorant, overbearing cop?cocobolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364893546269736119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-5195156572834088892011-05-02T13:12:20.763-04:002011-05-02T13:12:20.763-04:00I should also say that Jack Layton said strategic ...I should also say that Jack Layton said strategic voting was stupid.<br /><br />http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-notebook/layton-scoffs-at-strategic-voting-what-sense-would-that-make/article1997787/?from=sec368Emily Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354341672810615468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-90491585592477939472011-05-02T13:07:54.563-04:002011-05-02T13:07:54.563-04:00I don't dislike Jack Layton but he hasn't ...I don't dislike Jack Layton but he hasn't endured 2 1/2 years of attack ads. Not a wobbly performance by Ignatieff, but a reputation formed by misleading ads.<br /><br />If Jack wins or if we get a combined total of NDP and Liberals seats, enough to remove Harper, I'll be happy.<br /><br />But if the entire exercise was just to improve the NDP position and we are back to square one with a Harper government, than all of the work that so many people have done to exact actual change will have been for nothing.<br /><br />If Layton wins I will support him and do what I can to help him fight the right-wing onslaught he will face. If he loses and Canada loses, I will find it very difficult to forgive him.<br /><br />Because it makes him no better than Harper. Anything for power.

I applaud your courage and your integrity.<br /><br />But I'm puzzled - Layton shouldn't have tried to convince Canadians of NDP strengths? That's his job.<br /><br />BTW, even yesterday, NDP slogan was:"On Monday – vote for change. Together, we can do this."<br /><br />How does that go against strategic voting?<br /><br />So if Con candidate gets elected, you will blame Layton yet not hold Contempt Party leader responsible? Nor Ignatieff for wobbly performance?<br /><br />I truly don't understand.deBeauxOshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331662556005876488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-79095001131603112892011-05-02T06:55:11.364-04:002011-05-02T06:55:11.364-04:00Do you live in Kingston?

But if they split the vote and the Conservative wins I will be furious.<br /><br />Jack promised to support strategic voting to rid this country of Harper and then went back on his promise. If he wins the election I'll support him. If he hands Harper a majority I will be his worst nightmare.Emily Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354341672810615468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-79941629799326234002011-05-01T22:22:40.099-04:002011-05-01T22:22:40.099-04:00That's brutal and totally unreasonable.

Over 1,000 people. In fact, it was so big, they had to have two rallies, one inside and one outside because there wasn't enough room inside.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072284947782627051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7180592942896724433.post-4015834733013852702011-05-01T16:22:17.292-04:002011-05-01T16:22:17.292-04:00Emily thanks for telling us what took place.

I will NEVER be the same. Canada will NEVER be the same. Expect more arrests of this nature under Harper. In Canada, it is a perfectly LEGAL RIGHT to protest!!! Let us give Steve the heave tomorrow!!
